I'm wondering if what you say about the "interrupted related bug" caused what I saw twice yesterday. As a normal practice I backup my system to my second hard disk using rsysc. The load average was running at about 2.0 when the system froze. I had to reset the computer. So far I have been able to freeze the computer twice and both times I was doing heavy disk to disk copying using rsysc. This is on 9.2.
Are you running both drives off the same cable? I recently installed a second ATA drive onto the same cable as my primary drive, and then experienced frequent lockups under heavy loads. After switching the drive to a seperate cable, it has been rock solid, currently 39 days, where it was lucky to be a couple of hours before. This is on 8.1.

Yes, I rsync most of the /* directories which are mounted on /dev/hda6 to a partition /dev/hdb7 mounted on /.snapshot. I have done this for the last 6 month under SuSE 8.2 without any lockups. This only happened under SuSE 9.2. Early this morning (4am) the cron script did rsync my system without locking up. Hopefully, it was a rare two time occurrence when I did a full rsync.
